RenameFileByXL is a tool that renames a processed image file on the ground of the data from the xls file.

RenameFileByXL is developed to help photographers in their work in education entities for children and young people.

The work with the tool is performed as follows:

Stage 1. The photographer is provided with an xls file containing a table with information on the students: names, group numbers, phone numbers... The table must contain an ID for every person to be photographed, it will further become the name of the file.

Stage 2. The photographer uses inPhoto ID Webcam to make and process an image. After that, RenameFileByXL will automatically run. Then, the photographer asks every photographed student his/her name and enter it in the search field of RenameFileByXL. The tool uses the name to find the student ID and appoints it to the image.

Stage 3. The photographer gets an archive of numbered photos where he can quickly find, when entering the respective name, all the required information on the photographed student.
